[6.75/10] The Ritual (2017)

Quick Review: What starts off as your typical lost-in-the-woods affair with a lot of familiar elements gets into a tense creep-fest with a sense of obscure mystery that keeps the viewer intrigued -- the deeper the characters enter the forest the more scary "The Ritual" becomes with the chilling third act clearly explaining the film's title. The mythical creature is as macabre when it is unseen in dark as it is in its full appearance, but the film itself doesn't provide all the answers at the end.
